Overview of CSS in GTK+
Overview of CSS in GTK+
This chapter describes in detail how GTK+ uses CSS for styling
and layout.
We loosely follow the CSS
value definition
specification in the formatting of syntax productions.
Nonterminals are enclosed in angle backets (〈〉), all other strings that are not listed here are literals
Juxtaposition means all components must occur, in the given order
A double ampersand (&&) means all components must occur, in any order
A double bar (||) means one or more of the components must occur, in any order
A single bar (|) indicates an alternative; exactly one of the components must occur
Brackets ([]) are used for grouping
A question mark (?) means that the preceding component is optional
An asterisk (*) means zero or more copies of the preceding component
A plus (+) means one or more copies of the preceding component
A number in curly braces ({n}) means that the preceding component occurs exactly n times
Two numbers in curly braces ({m,n}) mean that the preceding component occurs at least m times and at most n times
CSS nodes
GTK+ applies the style information found in style sheets by matching
the selectors against a tree of nodes. Each node in the tree has a
name, a state and possibly style classes. The children of each node
are linearly ordered.
Every widget has one or more of these CSS nodes, and determines their
name, state, style classes and how they are layed out as children and
siblings in the overall node tree. The documentation for each widget
explains what CSS nodes it has.

Style sheets
The basic structure of the style sheets understood by GTK+ is
a series of statements, which are either rule sets or “@-rules”,
separated by whitespace.
A rule set consists of a selector and a declaration block, which is
a series of declarations enclosed in curly braces. The declarations
are separated by semicolons. Multiple selectors can share the same
declaration block, by putting all the separators in front of the block,
separated by commas.
A rule set with two selectors
Importing style sheets
GTK+ supports the CSS @import rule, in order to load another
style sheet in addition to the currently parsed one.
The syntax for @import rules is as follows:
〈import rule〉 = @import [ 〈url〉 | 〈string〉] ;
〈url〉 = url( 〈string〉)
An example for using the @import rule
To learn more about the @import rule, you can read the
Cascading
module of the CSS specification.
Selectors
Selectors work very similar to the way they do in CSS.
Typically widgets have one or more CSS nodes with element names (GTK+ falls
back to using the widget type if a widget has no element name) and style
classes. When style classes are used in selectors, they have to be prefixed
with a period. Widget names can be used in selectors like IDs. When used
in a selector, widget names must be prefixed with a # character.
In more complicated situations, selectors can be combined in various ways.
To require that a node satisfies several conditions, combine several selectors
into one by concatenating them. To only match a node when it occurs inside some
other node, write the two selectors after each other, separated by whitespace.
To restrict the match to direct children of the parent node, insert a >
character between the two selectors.
Theme labels that are descendants of a window
Theme notebooks, and anything within
Theme combo boxes, and entries that are direct children of a notebook

color: @fg_color;

}
]]>
Theme any widget within a GtkBin
Theme a label named title-label
Theme any widget named main-entry
Theme all widgets with the style class entry
Theme the entry of a GtkSpinButton
It is possible to select CSS nodes depending on their position amongst
their siblings by applying pseudo-classes to the selector, like :first-child,
:last-child or :nth-child(even). When used in selectors, pseudo-classes
must be prefixed with a : character.
Theme labels in the first notebook tab
Another use of pseudo-classes is to match widgets depending on their
state. The available pseudo-classes for widget states are :active, :hover
:disabled, :selected, :focus, :indeterminate, :checked and :backdrop.
In addition, the following pseudo-classes don't have a direct equivalent
as a widget state: :dir(ltr) and :dir(rtl) (for text direction), :link and
:visited (for links) and :drop(active) (for highlighting drop targets).
Widget state pseudo-classes may only apply to the last element in a selector.
Theme pressed buttons
Theme buttons with the mouse pointer over it
Theme insensitive widgets
Theme checkbuttons that are checked
Theme focused labels
Theme inconsistent checkbuttons
To determine the effective style for a widget, all the matching rule
sets are merged. As in CSS, rules apply by specificity, so the rules
whose selectors more closely match a node will take precedence
over the others.
The full syntax for selectors understood by GTK+ can be found in the
table below. The main difference to CSS is that GTK+ does not currently
support attribute selectors.

Selectors
module of the CSS specification.
Colors
CSS allows to specify colors in various ways, using numeric
values or names from a predefined list of colors.
〈color〉 = currentColor | transparent | 〈color name〉 | 〈rgb color〉 | 〈rgba color〉 | 〈hex color〉 | 〈gtk color〉
〈rgb color 〉 = rgb( 〈number〉, 〈number〉, 〈number〉 ) | rgb( 〈percentage〉, 〈percentage〉, 〈percentage〉 )
〈rgba color 〉 = rgba(〈number〉, 〈number〉, 〈number〉, 〈alpha value〉) | rgba( 〈percentage〉, 〈percentage〉, 〈percentage〉, 〈alpha value〉 )
〈hex color〉 = #〈hex digits〉
〈alpha value〉 = 〈number〉, clamped to values between 0 and 1.
The keyword currentColor resolves to the current value of the
color property when used in another property, and to the inherited value
of the color property when used in the color property itself.
The keyword transparent can be considered a shorthand for rgba(0,0,0,0).
For a list of valid color names and for more background on colors in
CSS, see the Color
module of the CSS specification.
Specifying colors in various ways
GTK+ adds several additional ways to specify colors.
〈gtk color〉 = 〈symbolic color〉 | 〈color expression〉| 〈win32 color〉
The first is a reference to a color defined via a @define-color rule.
The syntax for @define-color rules is as follows:
〈define color rule〉 = @define-color 〈name〉 〈color〉
To refer to the color defined by a @define-color rule,
use the name from the rule, prefixed with @.
〈symbolic color〉 = @〈name〉
An example for defining colors
GTK+ also allows to form color expressions, which can be nested and
provide a rich language to define colors which are derived from a
set of base colors.
〈color expression〉 = ligher(〈color〉) | darker(〈color〉) | shade(〈number〉,〈color〉) | alpha(〈number〉,〈color〉) | mix(〈number〉,〈color〉,〈color〉)
On Windows, GTK+ allows to refer to system colors, as follows:
〈win32 color〉 = -gtk-win32-color( 〈name〉, 〈integer〉)
Images
CSS allows to specify images in various ways, for backgrounds
and borders.
〈image〉 = 〈url〉 | 〈crossfade〉 | 〈gradient〉 | 〈gtk image〉
〈crossfade〉 = cross-fade( 〈percentage〉, 〈image〉, 〈image〉)
〈gradient〉 = [ linear-gradient | repeating-linear-gradient ] ( [ [ 〈angle〉 | to 〈side or corner〉 ] , ]? 〈color stop〉 [ , 〈color stop〉]+ )
〈side or corner〉 = [ left | right ] || [ top | bottom ]
〈color stop〉 = 〈color〉 [ 〈percentage〉 | 〈length〉 ]?
The simplest way to specify an image in CSS is to load an image
file from a URL. CSS does not specify anything about supported file
formats; within GTK+, you can expect at least PNG, JPEG and SVG to
work. The full list of supported image formats is determined by the
available gdk-pixbuf image loaders and may vary between systems.
Loading an image file
A crossfade lets you specify an image as an intermediate between two
images. Crossfades are specified in the draft of the level 4
Image
module of the CSS specification.
Crossfading two images
Gradients are images that smoothly fades from one color to another. CSS
provides ways to specify repeating and non-repeating linear and radial
gradients. GTK+ currently only supports linear gradients in the CSS syntax,
but see the -gtk-gradient extension below, which does allow to specify
radial gradients as well.
A linear gradient is created by specifying a gradient line and then several
colors placed along that line. The gradient line may be specified using
an angle, or by using direction keywords.
Linear gradients
To learn more about gradients in CSS, including details of how color stops
are placed on the gradient line, you can read the
Image
module of the CSS specification.
GTK+ extends the CSS syntax for images and also uses it for specifying icons.
〈gtk image〉 = 〈gtk gradient〉 | 〈themed icon〉 | 〈scaled image〉 | 〈win32 theme part〉
GTK+ supports an alternative syntax for linear and radial gradients (which
was implemented before CSS gradients were supported).
〈gtk gradient〉 = 〈gtk linear gradient〉 | 〈gtk radial gradient〉
〈gtk linear gradient〉 = -gtk-gradient(linear, [ 〈x position〉 〈y position〉 , ]{2}
〈gtk color stop〉 [ , 〈gtk color stop〉 ]+ )
〈gtk radial gradient〉 = -gtk-gradient(radial, [ 〈x position〉 〈y position〉 , 〈radius〉 , ]{2}
〈gtk color stop〉 [ , 〈gtk color stop〉 ]+ )
〈x position〉 = left | right | center | 〈number〉
〈y position〉 = top | bottom | center | 〈number〉
〈radius 〉 = 〈number〉
〈gtk color stop〉 = color-stop( 〈number〉 , 〈color〉 ) | from( 〈color〉 ) | to( 〈color〉 )
The numbers used to specify x and y positions, radii, as well as the
positions of color stops, must be between 0 and 1. The keywords for for
x and y positions (left, right, top, bottom, center), map to numeric
values of 0, 1 and 0.5 in the obvious way. Color stops using the from() and
to() syntax are abbreviations for color-stop with numeric positions of
0 and 1, respectively.
Linear gradients
Radial gradients
GTK+ has extensive support for loading icons from icon themes. It is
accessible from CSS with the -gtk-icontheme syntax.
〈themed icon〉 = -gtk-icontheme( 〈icon name〉 )
The specified icon name is used to look up a themed icon, while taking
the values of the -gtk-icon-style and -gtk-icon-theme properties. This
kind of image is mainly used as value of the -gtk-icon-source property.
Using themed icons in CSS
GTK+ supports scaled rendering on hi-resolution displays. This works
best if images can be specify normal and hi-resolution variants. From
CSS, this can be done with the -gtk-scaled syntax.
〈scaled image〉 = -gtk-scaled( 〈image〉[, 〈image〉]* )
While -gtk-scaled accepts multiple higher-resolution variants, in
practice, it will mostly be used to specify a regular image and one
variant for scale 2.
Scaled images in CSS
On Windows, GTK+ allows to refer to system theme parts as images, as follows:
〈win32 theme part〉 = -gtk-win32-theme-part( 〈name〉, 〈integer〉 〈integer〉
[, [ over( 〈integer〉 〈integer〉 [ , 〈alpha value〉]? ) | margins( 〈integer〉{1,4} ) ] ]* )
Transitions
CSS defines a mechanism by which changes in CSS property values can
be made to take effect gradually, instead of all at once. GTK+ supports
these transitions as well.
To enable a transition for a property when a rule set takes effect, it
needs to be listed in the transition-property property in that rule set.
Only animatable properties can be listed in the transition-property.
The details of a transition can modified with the transition-duration,
transition-timing-function and transition-delay properties.
To learn more about transitions, you can read the
Transitions
module of the CSS specification.
Animations
In addition to transitions, which are triggered by changes of the underlying
node tree, CSS also supports defined animations. While transitions specify how
property values change from one value to a new value, animations explicitly
define intermediate property values in keyframes.
Keyframes are defined with an @-rule which contains one or more of rule sets
with special selectors. Property declarations for nonanimatable properties
are ignored in these rule sets (with the exception of animation properties).
〈keyframe rule〉 = @keyframes 〈name〉 { 〈animation rule〉 }
〈animation rule〉 = 〈animation selector〉 { 〈declaration〉* }
〈animation selector〉 = 〈single animation selector〉 [ , 〈single animation selector ]*
〈single animation selector〉 = from | to | 〈percentage〉
To enable an animation, the name of the keyframes must be set as the value
of the animation-name property. The details of the animation can modified
with the animation-time, animation-timing-function, animation-iteration-count
and other animation properties.
A CSS animation
To learn more about animations, you can read the
Animations
module of the CSS specification.
Key bindings
In order to extend key bindings affecting different widgets,
GTK+ supports the @binding-set rule to parse a set of bind/unbind
directives. Note that in order to take effect, the binding sets
defined in this way must be associated with rule sets by setting
the -gtk-key-bindings property.
The syntax for @binding-set rules is as follows:
〈binding set rule〉 = @binding-set 〈binding name〉{ [ [ 〈binding〉 | 〈unbinding〉] ; ]* }
〈binding〉 = bind "〈accelerator〉" { 〈signal emission〉* }
〈signal emission〉 = "〈signal name〉" ( [ 〈argument〉[ , 〈argument〉]* ]? }
〈unbinding〉 = unbind "〈accelerator〉" ;
where 〈accelerator〉 is a string that can be parsed by gtk_accelerator_parse(),
〈signal name〉 is the name of a keybinding signal of the widget in question,
and the 〈argument〉 list must be according to the signals declaration.
An example for using the @binding-set rule
Left" { "move-cursor" (visual-positions, -3, 0) };
unbind "End";
};
@binding-set binding-set2 {
bind "Right" { "move-cursor" (visual-positions, 3, 0) };
bind "KP_space" { "delete-from-cursor" (whitespace, 1)
"insert-at-cursor" (" ") };
};
entry {
-gtk-key-bindings: binding-set1, binding-set2;
}
]]>
Supported Properties
GTK+ supports CSS properties and shorthands as far as they can be applied
in the context of widgets, and only adds its own properties only when needed.
All GTK+-specific properties have a -gtk prefix.
All properties support the following keywords: inherit, initial, unset.
The following basic datatypes are used throughout:
〈length〉 = 〈number〉 [ px | pt | em | ex | pc | in | cm | mm ]
〈percentage〉 = 〈number〉 %
〈angle〉 = 〈number〉 [ deg | grad | turn ]
〈time〉 = 〈number〉 [ s | ms ]
Length values with the em or ex units are resolved using the font
size value, unless they occur in setting the font-size itself, in
which case they are resolved using the inherited font size value.
A common pattern among shorthand properties (called 'four sides') is one
where one to four values can be specified, to determine a value for each
side of an area. In this case, the specified values are interpreted as
follows:
4 values:top right bottom left
3 values:top horizontal left
2 values:vertical horizontal
1 value:all

The icon properties are used by widgets that are rendering 'icons', such
as arrows, expanders, spinners, checks or radios. -gtk-icon-style and
-gtk-icon-theme are used when resolving images using the -gtk-icontheme
syntax. -gtk-icon-palette defines a color palette for recoloring symbolic
icons. The recognized names for colors in symbolic icons are "error",
"warning" and "success".
